Chapter 20: One Night in the Small Building
Xiaolou overnight
After we had a little bit of idleness, we had our first dark night here, the place was quiet, there was not even a little wind and grass, even birds and frogs, the more this happened, the more I felt uneasy, and the realm where there was not even a living thing always reminded of something bad. Everyone went into their rooms, and I don't think anyone would be sleepy this night, but only a high degree of vigilance, for fear of missing something unusual. It's just that the things in this building are too calm, the first half of the night is quiet and quiet to be bored, everyone in the room is standing or walking, or lying or lying, but there is always someone who can't stay up, this person is me, I drank strong tea, and I poured a lot of coffee, but unfortunately I was still sleepy, and nothing could stop Lao Tzu from sleeping.
When I was sleepy, I felt something cold and cold all the time rubbing on my feet, I just felt uncomfortable but still didn't wake up, and then this coolness crept up on my legs, after I realized that this was not a dream, I barely opened my eyes, a gray-blue snake head swayed left and right in front of my eyes, from time to time spitting red letters, it was about to pounce on me, I subconsciously reacted and grabbed its head and threw it out of the window, what snake hit seven inches, you don't care where to pinch, it's useful. Where did the damn thing come from? Window? Was there a window before this location? I remember there were no windows on this wall when I came in, what is this going on? I was going to go to the Huo family's team to take refuge, but as soon as I got up, I was stunned by the scene in front of me, this is a snake, insects, rats and ants running to me for the year-end meeting? The ground is a black patch, there are all kinds of insects, multi-legged centipedes, half an arm's length of Ma Lu, and a gray-blue python that is several times thicker than the snake just now, all crawling around on the ground, when I was stunned, something suddenly dripped on my head, I looked up and a row of upside-down bats were staring at me, and what dripped on my head was not their saliva, whether it was feces or urine I don't want to know, I entered the channel of the animal world?
Although I am frightened by these myriaped bugs, I still have to find a way to get out first, otherwise after a while, my nausea will rise, and then my legs will be weaker and more serious. I hurriedly took out the yellow charm from my pocket and lit it with a lighter. Although I don't smoke, I still need fire to light incense or something, and my lighter is more powerful, no matter how strong the wind is, it will not be blown out, as a pseudo-Taoist priest who can't burn the charm, this thing is simply a must-have. It's a pity that it didn't last long, it was extinguished not long after it was ignited, and it happened that the spark fell on the sheets, according to normal circumstances, this would not make the cotton and linen sheets catch fire in such a short time, but the fact was that it really slapped me hard, and the speed of the fire was really faster than adding gasoline. The effect was indeed very significant, and all those snakes, insects, rats and ants disappeared without a trace, including the window that came out of nowhere. And I, hehe, I was unlucky to be surrounded by a sea of fire, and the red-orange flames made my skin feel a burst of pressured heat, and then I was scared to wake up. Another dream, I was lying on the bed, cold sweat, as if the events in the dream were real. My body was immobilized as if I was confined to it, and at this moment a spirit that smelled of diesel appeared silently above me, almost close to my nose, and the closer it got to the smell of burnt with the smell of diesel, the stronger it became, the sickening smell, which I didn't like. Its black mouth was wide open as if it wanted to say something, but it couldn't make any sound, and its eager and twisted limbs grabbed me by the neck, and I couldn't make any sound, so I could only watch as it began to burn with a strong flame, and the flame tended to lead me along its hand. There was a fire in my eyes, and I couldn't see anything, could it be that I was going to confess here today?
I have recited Amitabha Buddha countless times in my mind, although I should support Taoism more, but no matter what words come to the mouth before death, people have to say it, but the days when I can't speak are too painful, my consciousness is clear, my pupils are estimated to be enlarged countless times, my mother, my grandmother, grandma, help!
Just when I was at a loss, Grandma floated out slowly, or it was the old rivers and lakes, and the people on the road always had to give some face, ah no, it should be said that the ghosts on the road always had to give some face.
"Ahem, grandma, the place where you live is too dangerous!"
Girl, you come with me!
I don't know if it's my delusion, Grandma's breath is getting weaker and weaker, and it seems that she is going to die again, but this time she is dead and there is nothing.
Walking in the corridor from time to time I heard a tragic shout heartbreaking, which can clearly identify the voice of the fat representative, but I guess I am now in another space, even if I can hear him, I can't see him, or just don't know anything, Grandma is also distracted, she led me all the way to the underground partition of this small building, instructed me to move the partition away, I looked at Grandma's ethereal figure, I already had a premonition in my heart, the partition opened, as I thought, there was a dried corpse lying inside, It was Grandma's body, and after she was hanged, the family hid Grandma's body under the partition, where there was a hole to keep the air circulating and spread the smell a little. As one of the earliest "residents" here, Grandma can be said to have witnessed the history of this small building, as well as the fragility of human nature inside, this small building is at the fork of yin and yang, similar to the location of my dormitory at that time but different, this small building is more to draw out the evil side of human nature, people hurt people, people eat people, ghosts are just auxiliary appearances.
Grandma asked me to remove "her" and open the box under my body, which contained reports of incidents that had happened in this house, and a bead that I didn't know what it was for, the size of a baby's fist, milky white beads, and some unknown patterns on it.
Xiaolou has changed hands several times, and the content of the report has been updated and put in, presumably Grandma's body has been found more than once, but no one has been buried for her. Grandma's soul has been together for a long time, and she can't escape, and she has a lot to do with this bead!
Girl, this thing is the foundation of this little building, and my son dug it up one day, and then he and the others went crazy, as if a demon had appeared, and I was hanged for it. Over the years, I have also looked at this place, trying my best to drive away the people who tried to come in here, but I couldn't stop anything, there are more and more unjust souls in this house, I'm afraid I can't continue, girl, you seem to have a special heart, not coerced by these external forces, I can feel it when I get close to you and try to interfere with you. Take it away! Seal it forever!
I seem to have gotten something incredible, if this bead is really as Grandma said, it is an evil thing in the world, and there are countless people who have brought disaster to the country in history, and countless people who have been affected by this bead. This is a scourge, and if I put it in my hands, I will become a scourge.
Grandma seemed to know that I was hesitating, and she asked me to feel if this evil thing had any effect on me.
Even though I don't have one at the moment, I'm scared too.
The location of this small building is not suitable, and it is blessed by this evil thing, it is really evil on top of evil, no wonder you can't enter here.
After Grandma finished explaining the matter, the geist returned to her own body, and the body that had been dried for many years dissipated from my sight little by little.
Grandma, let's go!
Oh no, those people haven't come out yet! If it weren't for this evil thing, this small building would have collapsed a long time ago, and now that I have taken this evil thing, then this small dilapidated building probably won't be able to hold on.
